For anyone looking to do something simple for Valentine\u2019s Day, try making this DIY Valentine for that special someone. Happy crafting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Firstly, grab some paper; colorful construction paper is easiest, however painting a piece of paper or using white paper works just as well. Trace a heart lightly on the paper using a pencil as a guide for cutting it out later. If desired, trace another smaller heart on a different colored piece of paper and cut it out. Glue it to the center of the large heart to give a cute outline and more dimension.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Take a black sharpie \u2014 or one that is colored, if preferred \u2014 and write the person\u2019s name on the back of the heart. Flip the heart over to the other side with the smaller heart, and write a message to the person. It can be something classic like \u2018Be Mine\u2019 or something cheesy with a pun like \u2018I love you a latte.\u2019 Next, add a cute illustration, which is perfect for those who go with a pun, or add a little message expressing appreciation and love for the person.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>To add something extra, there are many different things someone could do. Try cutting out little hearts and gluing them all over, or drawing along the outline to bring more attention to what\u2019s written on the front. Another option is to put clear glue along the edge of the heart and sprinkle glitter on top of it to make it glimmer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Contact the author at <a href=\"mailto:rhorrall17@wou.edu\">rhorrall17@wou.edu<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Photo by Rylie Horrall<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rylie Horrall\u00a0 | Lifestyle Editor Making a valentine is a cute, old school way of symbolizing appreciation, admiration and adoration for another person \u2014 not to mention, it\u2019s easy and cheap to do.
